Last week was our first week of lectures in the WISE school and it was intense! We started out our lecture phase with a week of teaching on spiritual warfare with Harmony Brown from the base here. The teachings were so interesting and really changed the way I think in different ways. One thing we talked about was the principle of agreement. The principle of agreement says that if we do things to agree with a certain spirit we actually give that spirit authority in our lives and more power and authority on the earth. So one example we talked about is the fact that if we are overly judgmental of those within the Body of Christ we are actually agreeing with and giving authority to the Anti-Christ principality which is the same spirit influencing and participating in the martyrdom and persecution of the Church in China. When we start thinking in this way we can see that many things are related in the world that we never thought were. It was really interesting to learn about how the kingdom of darkness functions and how we can come against it by the power given to us by the Blood of Jesus!
Also, this week God really started to do some serious work on my heart and my relationship with Him. Starting on Monday in worship God began working on my heart and bringing me to a place of repentance and intimacy with Him. Then in class that day we talked about the enemy being the accuser of the saints and we talked about the punisher that so many of us have inside of us accusing and condemning us. So God did a work in my heart taking away a lot of the condemnation I have come under and healing me. Also on Friday I got the chance to pray through some issues with Harmony's mom who is an amazing, anointed woman of God. During that time God helped me tear down some of the walls in my heart and break down some of the lies I had been believing about Him. It was amazing!
On another note, I am still around $400 away from what I need to pay for the lecture phase of this school and I have only 4 weeks left to pay it, so please be in prayer for me and if you can, please give.

A Good Way To Start Things Out
Well, I got back to Mazatlan to do the WISE school Saturday morning, and it feels a bit weird to be back. Although it is a little strange to be here and not there in Mexico City, I know God has some huge things in store for me here.
To start things out, yesterday Steve (one of the other students) came down to ask me if I wanted to go for a walk. I said sure and we started walking. Steve told me he wanted to pray for physical healing for people so as we walked we asked God to mark someone for us. God marked an older woman, so after a bit more prayer we went over to talk to her. She was with a couple other older women so we went over and told them we went out this morning jut wanting to love on people and pray for them if they needed it. We asked if they needed prayer for anything and right away the woman who God marked said that her son had recently died. So we prayed that God would give her peace and told her that God had not forgotten her and that He felt her pain as His Son had died too. She began crying and I could tell that God had done something great in her heart.
Then we asked if any of them had anything physical they wanted prayer for. One woman said she had bad pain in her legs. So we prayed for her and she got up and walked around and said the pain was gone! Next the two other women said they had diabetes and one said that her vision was really bad and was getting worse. So we prayed for them both together. When we were done both women said that they could feel a change in their bodies concerning their diabetes and the woman with vision problems said that she could see people out on the beach where before she could only see blobs! God is so good!
